What this subdivision covers
ANZSIC subdivision 90 is the middle layer between the broad division and the more specific groups. It is useful when you want to understand the section of the economy without jumping straight to the final class code.
This is also where confusion often appears. Similar business types can sit in nearby groups, so using the subdivision page first makes the boundary clearer before you narrow the match further.
